Where can I find affordable shoes - Boro park (2024)

How much do women’s shoes cost?
The ones I buy in the cheap place on 13th (fabco) are always wearing out too quickly or the heel comes off.
I’d like to try somewhere else that won’t break the bank. I remember s&w clothing store on 13th had a shoe area in the back but I haven’t stepped foot in there in more than 3 years. I got a pair and wore them for about a year or so then gifted them to my mother.
Do they still have shoes for sale?

Thanks!

Yes. A good shoe lasts a long time and makes a big difference.

OP didn't say baby shoes, I assume she means adult shoes.
Boro Park stores will not get you as great prices as online, but you can try on locally before you buy. None of the Jewish stores will be Fabco prices though, you can't compare leather with plastic.

Pretty sure this is not allowed halachically.

I didn't say to go try local and then buy the same thing online, I'd never do that. I was saying the pros of shopping locally is that you can see the item and try it on before purchasing. I would never just take advantage of a brick and mortar shop in that way, that just feels wrong.

I suggest getting online. If you keep your eye out you can get them for around $50 depending on color.

These are good quality shoes and should last a while. If you want to make them last even longer, I suggest getting taps put on the bottom of the shoe (local shoemaker will explain what it is, they shouldn't cost more than $15 and can increase the lifespan of your shoes by years!) Store them nicely in the box, be relatively careful where you walk when wearing them (ie no rain or snow if you can help it), and use shoe shapers. If you get scratches on them use a Mr Clean Magic Eraser.

I literally pass baby shoes on from child to child. Not shoes they wear when they are two (except for boots), but baby shoes. I just put my 8 year old daughter's shoe on my 1.5 year old.

Put taps on your shoes!
I have the same boots for 14 years now, so they were worth the money!
